5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sanitarians: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH (Paperback)
This history of American Public Health chronicles health perspectives of scavengers and public health workers to physicians and businessmen. It follows medicine as it evolved from bleeding victims and "miasmas" to technologically advanced medicine such as vaccines and x-rays. With a very good account of the history of infectious disease (yellow fever, and cholera), it aptly avoids the downfall of Whig history in assigning the fundamental reasons for the health initiatives. For a complete and concise history of American Public Health since the founding of the United States, read this book! It is an easy read for those who want general information, but is detailed enough (with great bibliographical information) for those interested in exploring any one aspect of the these issues further.

The Sanitation Movement,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Sanitarians: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH (Paperback)
The Sanitation Movement in 18th, 19th, and 20th century American Public Health is described in detail. Some of the independent movements are left out. It is a long read which is boring and a little tedious at times. Overall an above average book on the subject matter describing the Sanitarians.
